I was silent for a moment.Then I raised my hand that was holding Rica's hair."As you can see, she was being held as my prisoner right now. I have to bring her or I have to tie her somewhere."Sir Carl nodded. "Then tie her somewhere.""...." You are so ruthless Sir Carl. Really, as expected for someone who came from this corrupt burned mansion.I glanced at Rica.Rica did not need me to say anything and just nodded her head. She was fine with it. Or should I say she doesn't seem to care?"Alright. Where can we tie her?"*****After we tie Rica on some burned pole and looked for Sir Carl's friend to look after Rica, Sir Carl and I went to his room."Kelly, I know you are a green soul and probably doesn't know the ways of this world. It's a whole new world for you.""Yeah, you're right. It's a scary world."Sir Cal nodded. "That's why I knew that you don't know some of the dangers hidden

Dawn breaks and the sun started to reveal its presence.Rica and Jun were holding hands.They were on the roof of Jun's house. They watched as people come and go from his house. It was chaotic. After all, a man had just died.The sun had risen.His second son came. He was crying as he hugged his mom. In the afternoon, the eldest came. He was even wearing his own military uniform. He cried too as he hugged his mom and his brother.The two at the top of the rooftop were silent. Their eyes were on the people on the ground.Jun came down and hugged his family as well. Tears started to swell up in his eyes.Rica was left on the roof. She just watched him. Sir Cal was quiet all the time. I glanced at him. At least he has some conscience to give the siblings some time to reunite.Then Sir Carl stepped forward, "It's time to go."Rica turned to us. Since we were only watching their

  Lucas looked away, "I promised that I won't let anything happen to you under my watch. So it's expected that I will help." My lips twitched. 'Won't anything happen' my ass...I have almost become a nutritional meal for a demon twice. Anyway, I should consider that paid since Lucas really helped this time despite his attitude of not wanting anyone to know about his past. Based on Lucas's arrogant and loft attitude, he would never want anyone to know his pitiful past. "Yes, yes I understand." Knowing Lucas, I should not tackle on this matter anymore. So I changed the subject. "You came to find me about the next mission?" "Yes and also some other things." "What things?" "I have heard that you encounter a strange situation. Have you truly seen the 'door to the afterlife'?" "What??? Where did you hear that? I have not seen the 'door' Rica mentioned!" I asked flabbergasted. Not a day had passed yet people already knew t

There was heavy pressure in the air as I walked along the corridor. Unlike before, when Lucas met every people and greeted him, no ghost was in sight. Lucas broke the silence. "Carl, what are you aiming for using the whole people at the mansion and spreading this rumor about the door to the afterlife? I can't believe you told them to search something fruitless." "Is it not entirely useless. Besides, this will give more hope to the dead who are roaming aimlessly without care. Who knows, maybe we will get something out of it. " Carl then turned to us. He spoke to Lucas, "You'll know the rest later. Sir Reynold will explain it to you. And also, the reports you asked for are here already." "You got the result?" Lucas asked with a hint of anticipation on his voice. "Yes, we did. It took quite a time. I bet you owe us again this time." "Don't worry. I always make sure to pay them." ??? What are they talking ab

If the outside of the gate was crowded with many vendors. Inside, was a different world. There were many children running around. Some nuns were taking care of them or playing with them. It looked like a peaceful front yard where children would have picnics and have fun. Except that each child has a gun wound in their body. For a moment, I wondered what happened in this monastery for these children to have gun wounds on their chests. Were they massacred by madmen with guns? Just thinking of it was terrifying. Perhaps, it was better to have an accidental death, not a staged one. "Sister Nancy." Lucas greeted a certain nun who was leading a group of children around. Sister Nancy was a small nun in her middle ages. She was stunned to see Lucas. "Lucas!" She hugged Lucas and looked at him with longing eyes. "It has been so long, how are doing?" "I have been well. How about you, sister?" "Same as always. How long has it been since you last visited here? Three years? What have you b
